I tell you. Well - after that it used the grid.

Thank goodness you didn't have load shedding!!

I'll have to review the settings. Learn from you okes and whatever happens at the house.
Another thing that orgasms from power is the pressure pump. But it's stuff i (we) have to live with.

lots of orgasms in the Hunter household... happy endings all round haha

Yeah you will figure out what makes sense for your household and know what minimum % you are comfortable with at say 3am

Yep. Going to change that priority load. See how it goes. Already changed the sprinkler timers to operate later in the day. Can only do so much when the sun is shining. Eventually my only option will be to get more batters (If i want to use less grid or die from the heat at night.

We have a similar issue but luckily the aircons are inverter types so consumption once the room cools down is quite low. A 3rd battery will also cover me 100s. I also have an automation that runs the aircons for a limited time (15mins) each time and it shuts them down completely at midnight

What's the inverter aircons power consumption ? Maybe i should look at taking the aircon from our bedroom and install it in the study where the inverter is - Then run it for "free" during the scorching heat of the day to cool of the units a little. And have an inverter aircon put in the room ?

Your are using way more grid power than needed. Select priority load on the system mode screen. Then it will power the base load first and only charge the batteries once there is excess solar available. You are losing out on 80% of your production. If you can set the SOC to less than 50% that will also help to get more out of your system but depends on what is needed to get you through loadshedding. From how quickly your battery charges and discharges it also looks odd, almost like only 1 battery is working or the inverter thinks there is only 1?

Hi all, my solar installation was done today, I'm a total noob, so would like to learn a few things from the experts here. My inverter is a Deye model SUN-8KSG01LP-EU. The battery was charged to 100% at around 6pm, and then it used battery until it hit 95%, and then it started using grid again. Is it a setting that I can change, as I would like it to use more than just 5% of what is stored in the battery

Edit. I see my SOC setting for all hours was set to 95%, I guess that explains it, will change it to 50% for the evenings for a start

Spot on, that system mode screen controls the lowest level you want your batteries to be used to in those timeslots. Only have grid charge ticked if you want the grid to charge your batteries.once you understand your usage you may only need to use grid charge in exceptional circumstances

Thanks. I did select priority mode yesterday afternoon. Will see today.
Is there a graph or something on the app about the batteries performance i can screenshot ?

Not sure, I haven't changed battery settings since the installer set it up. But you will need to ensure that the values entered are correct for the batteries you have in terms of capacity, charge and discharge rate etc.

Just checked - Works very nice now. Solar going to house and excess to battery.

There is a custom graph on the website under equipment/custom where you can do whatever values you want.

To see what the battery com's are overriding you can look at the li-bms screen on the inverter. That should also tell you if they flipped all the correct switches on the batteries.

Hi guys, seen some good advise here and hoping someone can assist me with some settings I cannot get right. My installer was not at all helpful in providing some input here unfortunately.

We don't have load shedding in our area so my 10KW batteries are mainly used for night, no aircon or geysers running. Geyser runs on a sonoff device during the day (2kw) and a poolpump only during the day.

I use about 350 units a month still and cant seem to get it lower even though the below shows I am producing mroe than I consume.


Any advise on what I can change on the below (PS: my meter does roll back):

Looks like you are exporting power? Is this intensional?
Do you have anything on "non essential" or is everything on load?

Also make all the SOC\v values 20-25% if you don't have loadshedding.

I'll wait for more info on the first questions.

If you don't get loadshedding, then do what I do and drop your SOC to the minimum your batteries will allow for all of the time slots. Unless there's a good reason why you want to keep them so high?

Also select "priority load".

Great, thanks. Ill give this a bash and enable "priority load"

Yes export is intentional.

There are a few things, like pool pump and microwave, on non-essentials but the rest is on essential load.

Hi fellow SS users. I am just starting a DIY install and wanted to ask the best cable to use for extending the CT coil to a max of 20m?

From what I know shielded twisted pair using the same pair is the key to success. So was thinking cat6 would do the job?
